Mastering XML for SOA and Web Services Training

Mastering XML for SOA and Web Services Training

In this course you will learn fundamentals necessary to use XML in the data-driven applications in SOA and Web Services. Through lecture and hands-on lab exercises, you will learn the essentials of data interoperability using XML, write well-formed XML documents, enforce document validity, use XSLT and stylesheets to transform XML documents, and get an introduction to XML programming options. You will also learn best practices for how to evolve XML syntax and structure over time and how XML related to some of the fundamental technologies used by Web Services.

This course contains hands on labs to reinforce the lecture topics. The labs use the Eclipse "Web Tools Project" although the XML tools available in any other Eclipse-based development tool, like Rational Application Developer, MyEclipse, or BEA Workshop would be the same. The XML tools in these other products are the same ones inherited from Eclipse. Students who take this course will be able to apply their knowledge of the Eclipse XML tools even if they use one of these other tools.
